In other news Saudi and Emirates, all the big boys in that region, have cut ties with Qatar because of its association with various terrorist groups.

This has now caused all Qatar travelling to be cancelled

At one point All Jazeera was locked off as well.

just googled

Following joint military operations during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, Qatar and the United States concluded a Defense Cooperation Agreement that has been subsequently expanded. In April, 2003, the U.S. Combat Air Operations Center for the Middle East moved from Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia to Qatar’s Al Udeid Air Base, southwest of Doha, the Qatari capital.

Al Udeid and other facilities in Qatar serve as logistics, command, and basing hubs for the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of operations, including Iraq and Afghanistan. In spite of serving as the host to a large U.S. military presence, and supporting U.S. regional initiatives, Qatar has remained mostly secure from terrorist attacks. Terrorist statements indicate that energy infrastructure and U.S. military facilities in Qatar remain potential targets. U.S. officials have described Qatar’s counter-terrorism cooperation since the September 11 attacks as significant

 

its actually the biggest US military base in the middle east, that is mad

how the fuck will Trump handle this? He was just sword dancing with Saudi Princes so he cant talk shit to them, but also the biggest base and strategic cooperation with Qatar.

No hotels but trump has active business links with Saudi prior to presidency and was calling them terrorists for 9/11 during campaign. (the ignorance of public can always be relied on) exploit by any means necessary.. Even if it means pandering to far right narratives. 

Fast forward 2017 and dancing around with swords

OK so he chose SA

now what does he do about the biggest US airbase in the middle east located in Qatar and Qatar's cooperation in counter terrorism

Quote

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Monday that they did not expect a decision by some Gulf countries to sever ties with Qatar to affect the fight against terrorism but urged them to address their differences.

these guys need to stop making statements before Trump has his rants
